Thank you so much everyone! I'm all right and everyone in my family was all right.
I'm far enough away from the ocean that I didn't have to worry about flooding or storm surge or any of that.
I was surprised how strong the storm was though. It knocked down a lot of trees and left some power lines dangling all over the area and debris from the trees was all over people's yards. I spent some time over the last couple of days raking the front yard to get up all the pine needles and pine cones and branches and help stuff them into bags that fell off the trees.
Your prayers helped a lot, we were worried this one tree might fall down on the kitchen area or another tree might fall on the cars, but both trees stayed up, thank God.
We had a generator so we were able to run a few appliances like the freezer, refrigerator, microwave, and some fans to help us stay cool. When the generator wasn't running it was really hot.
Water leaked into the master bedroom from one wall from the rain so we had to pull up the carpet in that room because it was basically ruined.
That's the only real damage that was done, plus the fences and gate were knocked down in the back yard.
I was mostly worried about Eva getting too hot but I sprayed her once in a while with a spray bottle full of water until the power came back on so that she wouldn't overheat and left cage her close to the back door. We couldn't really leave her in front of a fan because ferrets can get sick from being in drafts.
I got power back on today so we were all really happy about that
Anyway THANK YOU all so much for your prayers and concern, because they made such a huge difference. Everybody was safe and came through it relatively ok although we're kind of tired.
